It is the responsibility of all defendants to appear in court on the days set
for the various matters pertaining to a felony case in this Court. When a defendant has made bond, either through personal
recognizance, cash or surety, it remains the defendant’s responsibility to be in court on the dates set and to make
adequate inquiry of all future setting dates on his or her case.

It is the responsibility of bonding agencies and sureties to make certain that the Court and District Clerk have
current and adequate mailing addresses for their clients on leaving the jail on bond. The first Notice of Arraignment will
be mailed to the defendant and the bonding agency at the addresses provided on the bond form, or on the Reset Form provided
at magistration. In the event the letter is returned for any reason, it is the responsibility of the bonding agency or surety
to have the client appear in court at the time and place stated in the notice. Therefore, it is important that bonding agencies
maintain contact with defendant clients.

In the event the defendant fails to appear
as directed, the Court will entertain a motion from the State for forfeiture of the bond. Therefore, it is incumbent on the
bonding agency to maintain accurate records and sufficient contact on bond clients to assure their timely attendance in court.
